Treasure County commissioners reschedule August meetings, sign safety plan, hold a software invoice and approve a small stipend increase for foot clinic staff
Summary
At the July 15 meeting commissioners moved the August 5 meeting and August 20 work session to August 1, voted to retain district-court counsel and sign a hazard-communication program, held a DIS invoice pending clarification, and approved raising a foot-clinic stipend to $3.50 per visit.
Treasure County commissioners handled routine calendar, legal and personnel business on July 15, moving two August meetings, retaining existing district-court counsel and approving a modest pay increase for a county foot-clinic worker while holding one vendor invoice pending clarification.
Scheduling: Commissioners agreed to reschedule the August 5 regular meeting and the August 20 work session to August 1 to accommodate staff training; a motion to move the August 5 meeting to August 1 was made and seconded and carried in a voice vote (SEG 1902-1906). The work session was also moved to August 1 (SEG 1945-1949).
Legal and safety paperwork: The board voted to retain the same counsel for district-court matters after a motion and second (SEG 3602-3606). Separately, staff presented a hazard-communication program describing the county’s compilation of hazardous-chemical inventories, safety-data-sheet management and employee training; commissioners voted to sign the program (SEG 3648-3656).
Invoices and procurement: Commissioners reviewed overlapping software invoices and paused payment on a DIS invoice (32360) until Marley and staff confirm which provider and license cover Microsoft Office licensing and Microsoft 365 subscriptions. One commissioner said the county "wasn't supposed to be able to get" certain publisher features on newer licenses and suggested holding the invoice until staff reconciles providers and license types (SEG 631-647). The board agreed to hold payment pending clarification (SEG 402-406).
Personnel: Staff reported increased demand at the county foot clinic. The board discussed compensating the clinician for extra appointments and moved to raise the stipend to $3.50 per instance; commissioners seconded and approved the increase to keep the program sustainable and to compensate extra time (motion and second SEG 2710-2724).
Other business: Commissioners discussed van-grant applications (DOT review ongoing), capital-planning items and other routine claims. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
What’s next: Staff will confirm vendor invoices with IT and Marley, place the fire-warden appointment on the next agenda (per prior item), implement the stipend increase for the foot clinic worker, and file the signed hazard-communication program.
